No Democrat could be found who

expressed desire to have the present
postmaster retained. He raised the

ALLIANcE LEADER: The Sugar
Trust, it is reported, has gone into
actual operation. The buying out and
closing of small refiaeries has begun,
and it is reasonable to suppose that
the business will soon be in few and
strong hands. The sugar market is
" frm" just now, with the probability
that it will be firmer . month or two
hence. 1t is perhaps we'll that this
" combine" has gone to work now,
rather than six months later. Con
gress is now in session, and If the gen
tlemen Ut the bead Of tho scheme push
prices up, as they are expected to do,
legislation will be invoked to stamp
out the conspiracy. A big contest
between the Trusts and the People is
inevitable. If 600 or 4, 900 individu.
ais are more powerful than al 600. 900,

Don't Bid.

In pursuance of a law of 1886, chapter
492, the Clerk of the Court of Appeals is
advertising for bids for the state printing.
The law is an absurd one, and asks printers
to bid and bond to do an uncertain amount
of cork for a certain sum.
The proposal asks for bids for printing
1000 copies of the Governors message in
English and 500 in German. The mes
sage is not prepared, and no printer can
tell whether it will contain 10000 ems OF
100000.
Included in the proposal is a proposition
to print 1900 copies of the daily Journals
of each house, and no printer nor other
person can tell whether they will amount
to one or to fifty pages day,
These are but two items in the proposal,
but they will do for samples to judge from
The whole proposal is indefinite from
beginning to end. 1t is an absurd law,
and is the result of sham reform septi-
ment in relation to the printing contract.
No printer in the state should bid, and
then the legislature might pass an act with
some common sense in it. If any one does
bid and loses heavily, he is not to be pitied,
and no "extras" should be thrown to him
to make him whole.
Let the press take up the question and
expose the Righteousness of the law.

Reform /!

In the name of reform, many hundreds
of negroes have been fraudulently register
ed in Baltimore, and the names of hundreds
of white Democrats have been erased be-
cause of temporary absence from the city.
In the name of Reform, the city of Balti-
more has been slandered, and held up to
the country as hot-bed of corruption,
ruled by the criminal class, where elections
are a fraud and life and property are inse-
cure.
The registration lists will be corrected
before the courts, so far as it Is possible
and on the 26th of October the citizens OF
Baltimore, by an overwhelming vote, will
rebuke the slanderers of the fair name Of
the city, and route the Independents, Re
pubIicans and Reform League, horse fool
and dragoon.

No Errors to Confess.

At Republican mass meeting in Baltl-
more on Friday night of last week, Mr..
james NJ. Gushing, the presiding offlcer,
said
UNot intimating that anything we did in
the past was wrong, we must remember
that to win the fight we must have the
aid of those who have heretofore fought us
bitterly. The Republican party alone can
not elect the ticket we have nominated.
The Republican party chen don't even
intimate that they did anything wrong in
the past. The big county and state debts
they piled up; the large tax rates imposed;
the DISTINGUISHING of Democrats for opln-
ions sake; the surrounding of the polls
with soldiers; the arrest and imprisonment
of unoffending citizens; the attempt to put
the state under federal control; the stutflng
of ballot boxes and the making of fraudu-
lent returns; and actual murder were not
wrong. says this prominent Republican,
chosen to preside over the nrt ratinca'ion
meeting of the Republican party, Repub-
Kcaus, then, have no confessions Of wrong
doing to make, and ask to be judged upon
their record They not only do not init
mate any wrong in their record but the
Inference is to be drawn that they endorse
their course when in power, and would re-
peat it if power were again given to them.
Mr.. Cushing also announces that the
Republicans cannot win without the aid of
their opponents. This is confession that
has the merit of truth Is there Demo-
crat or conservative citizen in the state that
will aid by his vote to elevate such party
to power? If there be any they will de-
serve every enslavement that can be con-
trived for them.

behalf.
have been in the employ of E. E. Jack
son & Co., in the capacity of Dookkeeper
at this branch of their business, for period
of fourteen years, and | unhesitatingly state,
from my intercourse with Mr.. jackson, that
do not believe there is another man in the
State who feels deeper interest in the labor
ing man, nor one who has done more to emo
BILE and elevate his condition. The firm of
L. E. Jackson & Co. have never distrained
upon any one for rent, though number of
their houses have been occupied for years both
by persons in and out of their employ without
dollar of rent being paid. Bills for medical
attendance upon their employees in their sick
ness have been paid by them without one cent
of remuneration They have also sent money
and provisions to their families during sick
ness, and during the winter months, when
there would be nothing doing, they have al
ways made it point to see that their wants
were supplied.
Furthermore, would add that in the en-
ployment of their help of all kinds they have
never questioned ones political or religious
views, nor have they ever interfered to prevent
an employe from connecting himself with any
organization whatever. Neither have they
ever tried to influence their employees in the
matter of voting, no matter what the issue
might be or who might be interested. These
are all facts which can be fully substantiated,
and | state them unsolicited by Mr.. Jackson
and without his knowledge.

Republican Activity-The Duty OF
Democrats.

The ticket nominated by the Republl-
cans last Monday is very respectable in its
composition, and will generally, no doubt
receive the party vote. If it receives no
more, certain defeat awaits every candidate
nominated, for the Democratic majority IN
Carroll is in excess of three hundred.
The Republicans seem to be imbued
with the idea that they have good fight
ing chance in Maryland this year, and will
nut forth their best efforts to carry the
election. The noise of few gentlemen in
Baltimore. has been mistaken for the voice
of mighty revolt in the Democratic ranks
They forget that these gentlemen, though
nrofessing to be Democrats, have not voted
with the Democratic party, except IN ma
tional contests, for some years, and have
invariably been in opposition at other times
Their prominence has been gained by their
attitude of opposition. Had they not
thrust themselves into notice, by assailing
the party in whose principles they profess
to believe, some of them would have never
been heard of out of their circle OF ac-
quaintances.
In consequence of this supposed revolt,
the Republicans are hopeful. That hope
full spirit, prompted unusual attention to
registration, and resulted in well-attend-
ed convention and multiplicity OF candl-
dates. Not for some years has SO much
interest been manifested in Republican
convention, nor has there been much desire
for similar period to receive nominations
In view of this, it behooves Democrats
10 be active. All that is needed to give
the Democratic ticket a comfortable major
ity. is a full vote. No Democrat should
falter in his duty to his party The bless
iugs of Democratic .ascendancy are too
priceless to be lost through indifference.
The evils of Republican rule, SO well re-
membered, should nerve every Democrat
to do his duty. Let not over-conhdence
lose the county and the state. Be active
and yigilant, and the victory will be won.

Tenn, on Tuesday, resulted in the election Of
John B. Nicklin, Democrat and an ex-fed.

strict party vote the Republican majority
there is about 1900.

From the baltimore Sun.


Has the Democratic party lost the conf
dence of the people of this city? The charge
has been made at home, in certain news
papers and on the hastings, that the control
of the party had passed to the criminal
classes This charge has been made the
text by newspapers published in New York
and other Northern cities for assaults on the
good repute of Baltimore. Is this charge
true or false? Do the people now believe that
the Democratic party has the capacity to ad-
minister satisfactorily their state and municipal
government? Shall we look for an answer to
the columns of rival newspapers or to the
expressions of our people at home? What
say the people? The letter which follows is
signed by gentlemen representing every Sec
ton of the city and nearly every important
business interest in it. Who can be more
alive to securing good government than those
who expect to live under it? The names
which follow are the names of men. in all
walks of life, who earn livelihood in Balti-
timore, and to whom the fair fame of the city
and its economical government is matter OF
the highest pride as well as of pecuniary in-
terest.
The following is the letter:
Hon. +. C. Latrobe:
DEAR SIR-We write to congratulate you
on your nomination to the very responsible
Office of Mayor of Baltimore city, and to ten
der you our heartiest and most active support
in the pending canvas.
As business men deeply interested in all
that rebounds to the prosperity of our city we
cordially endorse the intelligent, progressive
and vigilant policy of your past administra-
tions, and believe that, with the experience
thus gained, you will go into office for fifth
term even better equipped than heretofore to
deal with all important questions which will
arise affecting the future of the city and the
highest interests of all classes of its citizens.
Satisfied that the opposition will concen-
trate all available resources at its command
to gain the Mayoralty election for its moral
! effect upon the State campaign, we feeel it the
duty of every Democrat to enter into this fight
with greater zeal than ever heretofore. As
important q consideration as is that of your
own election to this community, we believe
even a more important issue is involved, name
| ", the supremacy of the Democratic party in
our city and State.
The Democrats and Republicans of every
State in the Union are watching with intense
interest the results of our city and Stale cleo
ton, and while the defeat of the Democratic
party here will be hailed with wild joy by the
Republicans everywhere, decisive Demo-
cratic victory will inspire the national Dem
ocratic party with renewed zeal and vigor for
the great national struggle of 1888.
This letter was signed by more than fifteen
hundred business men and firms of Baltimore.
When such large body of business men come
forward to endorse the Democratic city and
State ticket, it means success and OVER
WHELMING VICTORY.

slandering the Registers.

The present campaign is one of vituper-
alton and SANDER upon the part of the
Republicans In speech in Baltimore on
Tuesday night, Hon. Louis Z. McComas
spoke of the registers of voters, and the
American reports him as follows:
"He believed that the control of the reg
listers gives annually an unfair advantage to
the Democracy of about one hundred votes
to each of the twenty-threc counties. It
may happen the register may be drunk.
He may disfranchise us because he is ignor-
ant of the qualifications of voter, or be-
cause he is himself candidate at the cleo
ton, or because he can't spell or write our
names"
So far as Carroll county is concerned the
charge of Mr.. McComas is reckless and
base SANDER No person is DISTINGUISHED III
Carroll either because the registers are
drunkards or ignoramuses. If Mr.. Nc
Comas has any personal knowledge of the
character of the officers of registration IL
this county, he knows his charges are ut
terly baseless. IF he does not, he has been
guilty of recklessness of assertion for
partisan purposes unworthy of any man,
much less a Congressman of the United
States.
Radicalism, however, has set out to VIII
in this campaign, and is not particular as
to means employed. Falsehood and mis-.
representation are being chiefly used, and
there seems no limit to the lengths the Re-
publican speakers will go. The ISLANDERS
will recoil, upon the party they are intend
ed to benefit, and the three or four hurdred
registers of Maryland, and their friends
will rebuke this SANDER upon them at the
polls in November.
